RISE OF AVERNUS LYRICS

1. Upon A Field Of Stone

I stand here alone
Taunted by voices I can't decipher
The wind whispers my name
But I'm afraid to listen

Come with me to the valley
So I can reward you
And I will spare you from the uncertainties of life
Enter the darkness where I hide
Worship me and I will make you my queen

With only my thoughts to keep me company
I wait for her to join me in this tomb
You waste your innocence on those who only mean you harm
What purpose does it serve to the restless mind?

Just say the words and I will grant your darkest desires
We belong together forever

She will meet her peril here
Like those before her
Blood will be shed

I've got nothing left to lose
And I have given all I can bare to this meaningless pursuit

In the absence of clarity give me your hand
And I will grant you the silence you seek

2. Forbidden Sin

I promise that I will never speak your name
I will keep you in secret
Even if I will never feel your touch
Even if I will never taste you again
I will take this to my grave

Barriers crumble every time I stand before thee
Suffering in silence
You pass right through me
... and I will take this to my grave

I keep you in secret
You pray on my every weakness
A wash of colour fills in the grey lines
As my body trembles beneath your commanding presence
I am but a puppet that bends at your will.

You light up the bleakness
You know that I can not resist
The look you gave could end my life
Over a thousand times

Barriers crumble every time I stand before thee
Suffering in silence
You pass right through me

Lie with me
No-one will ever know
Divinity of this moment
Shall never be
Tainted or unveiled
This forbidden sin it tastes too pure to sour

3. Beneath The Frozen Hand Of Time

I've been alseep for what feels like a century,
Dormant I lie encased in this cell,
Come wake me from my slumber,
Only you can break this spell...

Imprisioned within this hell,
I scream but you can't hear me,
Like a bird forgotten in it's cage,
I cannot forfeit freedom,
Now that I've had a taste.

Poison swells inside my fragile limbs,
Tormented I lie encased by walls of glass,
I scream but who can't hear me,
Frozen I make no sound

Imprisoned within this hell,
I scream but you can't hear me,
Like a bird forgotten in it's cage,
I cannot forfeit freedom,
Now that I've had a taste.

The spell is not broken,
By my will of fire,
A lustful desire haunts you til the end,
A mannequin lifeless,
Suspended and timeless,
As you lay in your decay,
I know you cannot be saved,
Still your essence lingers on inside my heart.

Beneath the frozen hand of time,
I kneel before such beauty,
Immortalised by death,
Her lifeless body still calls to me.

Trapped with my own thoughts,
Of injustice and remorse,
You were my last hope,
Nothing left but sorrow,
I surrender.....
